When dealing with an interior designer or interior decorator, the terminology can often be somewhat confusing. What is hue? What do they mean when they say value?
Here’s a simple guide to understanding the color term and the terminology used to describe each color
- Hue is what a color is called. Red is the hue; blue is the hue.
- The value of the hue is simply referring to how light or dark it is.
- Saturation refers to the dominance of the hue. For example, as we go from navy to baby blue, the navy hue becomes less dominant.
- Intensity refers to the brilliance of the color. Pure colors such as red are more intense than the combined colors such as blue-green. A stronger and more intense color usually has a more dominant hue.
